  Walter Lini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Father Walter Hadye Lini (1942-1999) was an Anglican priest and the founding prime minister of Vanuatu.

Lini's administration was very controversial in the West because of its ties with the Communist bloc, Libya, and other socialist countries viewed with disdain by the United States and Europe, and its staunch opposition to nuclear testing in the region.
